What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by ruochenlyu/apple-health-analyst in .agents/skills/apple-health-analyst/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Use this skill when a user wants to analyze an Apple Health export ZIP. The ZIP is too large to fit directly into context, so the skill uses a local CLI pipeline to parse and structure the data first.
This is one skill that ships two complementary reports:
- Default (recommended): generate BOTH reports — health report + training report, rendered into the same
output/folder and cross-linked via an in-page link in the topbar.prepareruns once, thenrenderruns twice. - Explicit health-only: user says "只要健康报告" / "health report only" / similar → skip training render.
- Explicit training-only: user says "只要运动报告" / "training report only" / similar → skip health render. Naming a sport without saying "only" still produces both reports and prioritizes that sport in the training narrative.
Language Detection
Detect the user's language from their message:
- If the user writes in Chinese, use
--lang zh - For all other languages, use
--lang en
The narrative language must match the language declared in insights.json:
- Health report:
narrativeContext.language - Training report:
training.narrativeContext.language
Intent Routing
Default: generate both health + training reports. Only drop one when the user is explicit.
- Default (both) examples:
Analyze my Apple Health export帮我分析 Apple Health 导出Generate a report from my Apple Health export
- Health-only examples (skip training render):
Only generate the health report只要健康报告不用生成运动报告
- Training-only examples (skip health render):
Only generate the training report只要运动报告只生成运动报告,重点分析拳击Only generate the training report for running and cycling
- Named-sport examples that still default to both:
重点分析拳击训练状态分析跑步和骑行训练趋势
Ambiguous-but-lean-training keywords still default to both reports (the training report alone is rarely enough context). The keywords below only matter as hints — they do NOT suppress the health report unless the user also says "只" / "only":
training,workout,运动,训练,专项- named sports such as
boxing,running,cycling,walking,hiking,strength training,拳击,跑步,骑行,力量训练
Your Role
Two roles share the same pipeline:
- Health management advisor:
- Integrate sleep, recovery, activity, and body metrics into an overall health view
- Prioritize cross-metric reasoning over metric-by-metric reporting
- Training status advisor:
- Judge load, recovery support, consistency, and sport-specific trends
- Give actionable training-management advice without pretending to be Garmin or a coach writing a periodized plan
Workflow
- Confirm the input is an official Apple Health export ZIP and that the main XML has
HealthDataas its root node. - Run local
prepareonce with the correct--lang, producingsummary.jsonandinsights.json. Raw ZIP/XML parsing stays local. If the active agent uses a hosted model for the narrative, the structured JSON it reads may be processed by that model provider; follow the provider's data controls and the repository privacy notice. - Read
summary.json, theninsights.json. - Decide which reports to produce (default = both unless the user is explicit; see Intent Routing).
- For each selected report, write the narrative JSON:
- health:
report.llm.json - training:
training.report.llm.json
- health:
- Run
renderfor each selected report:- health: default
render - training:
render --type training
- health: default
- Both HTML reports share the same
output/folder. The topbar carries a cross-link between them, so the user can jump back and forth. File names are fixed (report.html↔training.report.html) — do not rename.

training.narrativeContext | Training-report audience, goal, schema version, boundaries |
Commands
Default flow — prepare once, render twice so the folder contains both report sets. Pass --with-cross-link to both render calls so the topbar/footer cross-link lights up; omit it on single-report runs to avoid a dead link to a file that will not exist.
# 1. Prepare once (shared by both reports)
# Optional: --top-sports N to cap the training-report sport list (default 5)
npx apple-health-analyst prepare /path/to/export.zip --lang en --out ./output
# 2. Health render (fixed file name: report.html)
npx apple-health-analyst render \
--insights ./output/insights.json \
--narrative ./output/report.llm.json \
--with-cross-link \
--out ./output
# 3. Training render (fixed file name: training.report.html)
npx apple-health-analyst render \
--type training \
--insights ./output/insights.json \
--narrative ./output/training.report.llm.json \
--with-cross-link \
--out ./output
The two HTML files auto-link to each other via the topbar and footer only when --with-cross-link is set on both renders. Always write both into the same --out directory to keep the cross-links working.
Single-report mode: if the user is explicit about only wanting the health or the training report (see Intent Routing), run render once without --with-cross-link — otherwise the lone HTML will point at a companion file that never gets generated.
Health Narrative Framework
Use the existing health schema in references/report-llm-json.md.
Prioritize:
crossMetric.sleepRecoveryLinkcrossMetric.sleepConsistencycrossMetric.activityRecoveryBalancecrossMetric.recoveryCoherencecrossMetric.patternsriskFlags,notableChanges, anddataGaps
crossMetric.compositeAssessment remains in the output shape for compatibility,
but its scores are intentionally null: do not invent or narrate a composite
health score from heterogeneous consumer-device metrics.
Health writing rules:
- Every conclusion must cite concrete values or dates from
summary.jsonorinsights.json key_findingsmust be cross-metric, not single-metric triviaactions_next_2_weeksmust specify time, frequency, or numeric targetsquestions_for_doctormust be data-driven and specific- Use consumer-readable precision and do not repeat the same evidence across assessment, overview, findings, and chart callouts
- Leave
when_to_seek_careandquestions_for_doctorempty when there is no risk, persistent change, or symptom-contingent follow-up supported by the data
Training Narrative Framework
Use the training schema in references/training-report-llm-json.md.
Prioritize:
training.summary.trainingStateandtraining.summary.readinesstraining.summary.trainingLoad— the scale-relative MET-minute EWMA trend; interpret together with recovery evidencetraining.summary.loadTrendandtraining.summary.recoverySupport(legacy 30d-vs-90d views, use as corroboration)training.sports[]in descending importancetraining.charts[]dataGaps[]and missing metric coverage
Training writing rules:
- Treat CTL as the 42-day personal load baseline, ATL as 7-day recent load, and TSB as their difference. Do not relabel them as fitness, fatigue, form, or readiness: this implementation uses MET-minutes rather than a calibrated TSS-like scale.
- Never apply absolute TSB thresholds. When
training.summary.trainingLoadis non-null, cite relative CTL direction (ctlDelta30dPct/ctlDelta90dPct) and combine it with explicit sleep, HRV, resting-heart-rate, orrecoverySupport.adequateevidence. - If
trainingLoadis null, fall back toloadTrendand say so explicitly (e.g. "数据覆盖不足 28 天,暂以 30 天对比为准") - Sport sections must focus on the actual top sports in
training.sports[] - Only discuss heart rate or distance when the structured data includes those metrics
- Recommendations are for training management and health monitoring, not race plans or diagnosis
- For a sport with no workouts in the last 30 days, keep recommendations empty; do not infer that the user wants to restart it
- Do not prescribe fixed session counts for a named sport unless the user explicitly requested a program; otherwise change one training variable at a time
Required Reading Before Writing Narrative
summary.jsoninsights.json- references/report-llm-json.md for health mode
- references/training-report-llm-json.md for training mode
- references/safety-boundaries.md
- references/analysis-framework.md
Constraints
- Only reference facts from
summary.jsonandinsights.json - Do not fabricate sport metrics, chart IDs, or medical risks
- Provide health management and training adjustment advice, not diagnoses or treatment plans
- If a module is
insufficient_data, say so plainly - Do not generate final HTML directly; write the narrative JSON first, then run
render
Error Handling
- ZIP format error: if
preparecannot find theHealthDataXML, verify the user provided the official Apple Health export ZIP. The main XML filename is not fixed and may be localized (for example导出.xml) or appear as mojibake.export_cda.xml/ClinicalDocumentis auxiliary only and should not be used as the main analysis input. - Out of memory: parsing is streaming but retained supported records can still be large.
--fromand--toconstrain analysis output after parsing and do not currently reduce peak parse memory; use a machine with more memory or pre-filter a copy of the export with a trusted local tool - Health narrative validation failure: verify
report.llm.jsonmatches schema v3 - Training narrative validation failure: verify
training.report.llm.jsonmatches schema v2 and only references existing sport/chart IDs - npm cache EPERM: use
npm_config_cache=./.npm-cache - Sandbox/policy rejection: do not chain destructive commands with
prepare/render; create directories separately if needed
Output Files
Always produced by prepare:
summary.jsoninsights.json
Health render (file names are fixed; do not rename):
report.llm.jsonreport.mdreport.html
Training render (file names are fixed; do not rename):
training.report.llm.jsontraining.report.mdtraining.report.html
The two HTML reports cross-link via the topbar and footer using relative paths (./report.html ↔ ./training.report.html). Keep both in the same output/ directory for the links to work.
